Monday I did get my lawn mowed!  I also got my gas can filled, I visited the pharmacy, stopped at the store & bought weed killer & groceries (not in that order).

I also bought and some tomato plants, and even though it is too early to plant them at least I have them!  I bought Early Girl this year as they are nice sized tomatoes and fairly abundant little producers. 

I've started working a new flower bed where at one time 3 fir trees stood.  Once the trees were cut down the wood was stacked in that spot for some time.  I sold the wood and gave some away so the it's bare now and needs some shrubs and color.  Last fall I planted several bunches of tulips and another bulb that for the life of me I can't recall the name.  I also have three Hydrangeas that I plan on putting there.  I usually buy my shrubs on clearance and I only paid $1.50 a piece for these nice shrubs and they already have started sprouting leaves for this year!  I'll try to remember to post some before and after pictures.

I've been trying to find a Japanese Snowball shrub (not the tree) for some time now.  I've been unable to locate one.  They are nice shrubs and in the Spring have large white flowers that lay flat on the branches.  Any ideas where I might get one?  I know that I will probably pay a premium price for one, but I'm certainly willing to.

Monday the girls got out of their fenced backyard!  I must have accidently left one of the gates slightly open, and they found my error.  They were off like Greyhounds and I swear to God I thought I would have a stroke before I was able to get them cornered in my neighbors yard with the help of the neighbor.  They ran away from me and right up to her - those two little beggars!  I was so afraid that they'd get in the street and get hit by a car!  I bought two springs to afix to each gate which will keep them in a closed position, but I haven't installed them yet.  That will be first on my "to do" list this weekend!  

It rained here yesterday, but is supposed to be nice the rest of the week and through the weekend.  So hopefully I will get more yardwork done before next week when Madison comes to stay with Grammy!  

Until later..............
